hi frnd,

well - you dont realy have that big of a choise. only 5 fonts, whicha are the default fonts for the browser. If you have any other font its going to go straight away to new time romain, which is one of the defaults. persoanlly i like fonts that use ariel. such as: vendra ariel.. something like that. Good luck

hi roy
which font i have to use for pages to be printed

You have a number of choices, but best to stick with the 'basics'. A person's printer will print all of the basic choices for a web page.

Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Times New Roman, Geneva, sans-serif, Georgia, -- all of those will work on just about any pc or mac and printers. It's best to specify more than one font and ALWAYS include a default like sans-serif or serif.

im usually used arial font (11) for my site and printable page. You also can try san-serif for printable page.

im not sure what type of page you're talking about..but still recommended arial font for all type of page.

It really depends on the feel you want to go with. I have no idea because you didn't really give that much info about what type of website you have.

You can go with the great suggestions our mod had, or you can include custom fonts that you can upload to the server.

The latter takes a bit more work, and not many people are doing this because it's a little ahead of its time, and it increases load time.

For headlines on a sales page, go with verdana/Geneva. You can also type your headlines in Photoshop, then save them as gif files.

This is a good example of what I'm talking about...
